Paige Strand

Name: Paige Single Gender: Female Age: 18 Grade: Senior (12th) School: Bayview Secondary School Hobbies and Interests: Gymnastics, Athletics, Partying, Gossiping

Appearance: Paige fits the mould for a perfect athlete or gymnast. She is neither tall, nor resembles anyone out of the ordinary, standing rather short at 5"5 and 130 pounds. She holds a head of dirty-blonde hair, kept in a ponytail, a pair of pale green eyes and a very clean facial complexion. Her skin is clear of blemishes, her nose is very small, and her cheekbones stand out prominently; all this makes her look much younger than she actually is, which annoys her to no end.

Her clothing consists of tight, fitting attire in order to prominently show of her body. Her pants are long, down to her ankles, her shirts show off explosively colorful logos, and she wears bright pink and white running shoes that clash with her dark green pants. Her ears are pierced with a gold stud, which needs to be frequently removed whenever she participates in sports. Her arms are very well-formed, due to swimming, her legs even more-so.

Biography: Paige was born the third of four children to Lucia and Mark Single, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Her two brothers and sister are all much taller than her, even her brother born a year after her, and she is considered the 'baby' of the family. Paige is an attention seeker, since she feels she needs to be different in any way. For the first few years of School, her principal would often call her parents to inform them that their daughter was climbing trees or buildings.

While she was never a bad student, always answering questions when asked and never disrespecting the teacher, by the time she was 9, she was in the principal's office more than what her parents would put up with. They tried to find other outlets their daughter could participate in, in order to stop her acting out, when they came up with a great idea. Paige loved being outside, and loved running also, and she would always place in the top 3 in her school track meets or athletic carnivals, they suggested that she start professionally training to become a professional runner. She jumped at the idea, figuratively and literally, and started to write up her own training schedule. Save for sick days and broken bones, Paige has jogged or ran a kilometer every morning before school since the age of 9.

Paige would always sit with a gaggle of girls, who were her best friends up until the seventh grade, when a large, bitter dispute over a boy split them up. The boy, Jacob had taken a liking to Paige (as much of a liking one could take at the age of 13), and they soon started going out. She eventually found a group of new friends. It was also around this time that she tried to take up other athletic prospects, such as swimming, cycling, and gymnastics. While the first two she excelled at, the latter, not so much. While she loved the sport, it hurt her that she was always just that little bit behind the others. Soon, she gave up entirely, but still enjoyed occasionally watching the Olympic gymnastics and other large-scale competitions. She would incorporate cycling and swimming into her schedule, and has gone cycling three times a week in the afternoon, and swimming 4 times a week in the afternoon as well ever since she was 14.

At school, Paige is almost unremarkable in most of her subjects. She studies hard, she recieves slightly above average grades As soon as she was old enough, Paige started entering the St. Paul social scene. She begged her parents to take her to parties, since she did not want to risk having her bike stolen or being mugged late at night. They agreed eventually, but wary that she may relax in her training, she was made to swear to them that no matter how tired, no matter how hungover, and no matter how sore she was, she needed to stick completely to her training schedule. She became a natural party girl, a gossip, and always dragged a reluctant Jacob along as well. Her phone was consistently beeping with messages from her friends, trading gossip and posting updates in her relationship.

Something that changed her life in the 11th grade was something that anyone who knew her would never have guessed. She started feeling extremely dissatisfied with life, and came down with fits of sobbing and sadness. After almost drowning herself during swimming practice in a fit of suicidal panic, she finally sought help from the school counselor, who diagnosed her with depression. The most caring person at that dark time in her life was her boyfriend, who started staying with her at night, and during practice to make sure that she was never alone. She also started taking doses of anti-depressants.

At the time of the school trip, Jacob had done something that immensely surprised Paige. He met her on her morning run on the morning of the trip, and showed her an emerald ring. He had been saving up since the Ninth grade, and knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Her immediate response was to kiss him, and she told him that she would love to marry him, and they arranged to run away together after graduation.

Advantages: Paige is an extremely fast runner, and while not fast enough to outrun a hail of bullets, has the strength and stamina to outlast most of her competitors; she also has made plenty of friends over the years. Disadvantages: Her depression is a largely debilitating factor, as she is extremely moody and unstable without her medication. As a gossip, she has scorned many people in the past, particularly close friends.
